Recently, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has become increasingly popular and popular, especially among young people. VR offers a very realistic virtual world experience, as if we were really in it. Not infrequently, many people are addicted to using VR for a long time because of the exciting sensation.
So, does VR addiction have a bad impact on health?
Several studies show that excessive use of VR can risk harming physical and mental health. One of the bad effects that people often complain about is headaches or migraines due to using a VR headset for too long.
Apart from that, prolonged use of VR can also trigger nausea, dizziness, visual disturbances, and eye fatigue. This is because the VR headset forces the eyes to focus at close range for a long time, as well as due to the image movement being out of sync with the user’s head movement.
Another impact, VR addiction also risks reducing the user’s social interactions and physical fitness. Because, those who are addicted to VR tend to spend a lot of time alone playing and moving around minimally.
Therefore, experts recommend that the use of VR should be done wisely and with full control. Apart from that, use a VR headset with features and settings that are comfortable for the eyes. And limit the time playing VR, and get enough rest to avoid the risk of health problems.
